Clip-on Microphone?

[UltimateKirbyBoi]

Hey guys!

I plan on investing in a clip-on microphone to improve my video's sound quality (I don't like how it's a little "echoey" and has distracting background noise sometimes)

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have a Sony UTX-B2 wireless mic. I use it for just about all my videos, and it works great.

What do you record on?

I use the Audio Technica ATR 3350. Gets good quality sound, and is not overly expensive. Got mine on Amazon for about $30 but I've seen them as low as $19.

A clip-on mic isn't going to make your sound that much better then.

WAT?

The Canon 650D's mic is TERRIBLE. Recording audio with a toaster would be an improvement.

I think I may know what German was saying - basically, if you're recording from the clip-on (lavalier) mic INTO the camera, you're still gonna have obnoxious camera noise in your audio (unless you're using something with significant gain boost, so you can take the camera's audio level way down).

But if you'd consider a lav mic AND an H1 Zoom portable recorder, you could eliminate that problem.
